Austin Street

You are looking toward Union Turnpike from Lefferts Boulevard. Austin Street was named for Long Island Railroad president, Austin Corbin, whose modernization of the Railroad brought it into the 20th Century - and into Kew Gardens. Fittingly enough, the Kew Gardens Long Island Railroad Station is on Austin Street (offscreen to the left). The white house [picture postcard - right foreground] is still there today. The empty lot barely visible at the left margin of the picture postcard is today the site of the Austin Arms Apartments but then was an open field.
